When long moves are planned and executed the USB timer can expire.
In PrusaSlicer 2.7.1 the Toolchange command (T0, T1, etc.) is sent while the USB timer is expired. This will trigger
a manual MMU unload in the firmware. Not only does this trigger a loud beep from the buzzer, but this will also significantly increase print time.
The issue only affects host prints. SD card printing does not have this issue.
Fixes#4551
The fix in this commit is the following:
If there are blocks queued while printing via host AND the USB timer is halfway expired WHILE executing a move. Then simply restart the timer to keep it alive.
Change in memory:
Flash: +62 bytes
SRAM: 0 bytes
The idea is to have the host ping the printer periodically with a M79 to
enable certain features/UI. Using the usb_timer is not a good solution
for this as it depends on seeing a 'G' character
The LCD code, or whatever code is implementing the new functionality
will need to include host.h and check whether M79_timer_get_status()
returns 0 (timer not running) or 1 (timer is running).
I created a new file for the code host.cpp which we can use to expand
host related functionality and not clutter Marlin_main.cpp further.
Change in memory:
Flash: +104 bytes
SRAM: +5 bytes
Restores 3.12 sequence which was working well before.
M600 "L" parameter now works like M702 "U" parameter.
Removed a lot of the unused parameters which were copied
from Marlin 2.
Change in memory:
Flash: +96 bytes
The current unload sequence does not give good results.
The Marlin 2 sequence looks good on my end. This can be later
used to improve M600
Added all the constants from Marlin 2
- If `M73` `R,S,C,D` values set the LCD Info screen clock switchs between Remaining and Change time
- If Remaining time is 0 while Change time is >0 the clock switchs between Change time and actual printing time
- If Change is 0 while Remaining time is >0 the clock shows the Remaining time
- If both are 0 the clock shows the actual printing time
- `M73 C` values are shown in "Normal" mode
- `M73 D` values are shown in "Stealth" mode
- Changing the speed will try to calculate the espected times and show `?` behind `R` or `C`
Take advantage of the NTC thermistor found on the Einsy as an additional
safety measure, following the steps of the other MIN/MAXTEMP errors.
Introduce two configurable params AMBIENT_MINTEMP and AMBIENT_MAXTEMP
in the variant defines and set them for the MK3/MK3S to -30/+100
respectively.
AMBIENT_MINTEMP is primarily intended to catch a defective board
thermistor (to ensure MAXTEMP would be properly triggered) and thus the
trigger temperature is set just above the sensing limit and well below
the operating range.
AMBIENT_MAXTEMP is set at 100C, which is instead 20C above the maximum
recommended operating temperature of the Einsy. The NTC thermistor is
located just above the main power connector on the bottom of the board,
and could also help in detecting a faulty connection which can result in
rapid overheating of the contacts.
As for MAXTEMP, we cut power to the heaters, print fan and motors to
reduce power draw. Resume is not possible except by resetting the
printer, since the user is highly advised to inspect the board for
problems before attempting to continue.
If you're using flow to correct for an incorrect source diameter, which
is probably the main usage when using the LCD, then LA shouldn't be
adjusted.
It's still unclear what the effect of M221 in gcode should be regarding
overall extrusion width. If M221 means "thicker lines", then LA should
also be adjusted accordingly.
This stems from the fact that the source diameter/length needs to be
known in order to determine a compression factor which is independent of
the extrusion width, but the FW only ever sees one value currently (the
extrusion length) which combines both.
This makes it impossible for the FW to adjust for one OR the other
scenario, depending on what you expect for M221 to mean.
Allow the LA 1.5 MAX value to be configured in Configuration_adv.h.
Define a customizable LA10<>15 detection threshold in function of the
above limit.
Clamp the result of of the LA10->15 return value to always
respect the new LA_K_MAX.
Allow existing gcode using LA10 to transparently take advantage of LA15
by using a simple linear conversion function based on experimental
results with the MK3 implementation of linear advance.
Autodetect LA10 values based on the first M900 instruction contained in
the print. In order to support printing mixed files without resetting
the printer we also reset the autodetection status when starting a new
SD print and/or when explicitly disabling LA.
Since we cannot reliably detect whether a new print is started when
printing via USB, also reset the detection status when homing in G28,
which is generally performed once at each print. Note that this doesn't
clear the previous K value, it only allows a subsequent M900 to provide
LA10 values when printed after a LA15 file.
